Planned a night in CT where all of us changed our icon to Ciao. When he showed up in CT thread all of us had his icon. Of course he flipped out. We totally ignored him as if he was not there. I was flipping out with the rage we all know he has. He was confused as hell seeing that everyone had his icon and being totally ignored. Bunch of us got PM from him about how there is this huge Bug in IGN etc.

Worst Moment: No question about it. A while ago I got pranked by one of my friends who always gave me good sony insight. I used that information and posted on the lobby. It went so far as news sites were reporting it. I GOT PWND. But still funny as hell.

Favorite moment: The G-2-0 (ass-clock-cookie) death thread. It was just epically funny the entire time.

Frog and Alle just filled that thread with laughs.

Best Moment: The feedback I got from you all after doing the first two newsletters. It rocked. Also, the unexpected support I got in Alc's recent HoF thread.

Worst Moment: When Obe PM'd me and told me he was going to post less... or not at all for a while.

Favorite Moment: Was actually on Meodia when I did my Canadian PSN contest it was a lot of fun actually doing it after planning it out for awhile. I had them add me on an alt PSN and I chose a trophy from their list of games to achieve, then I gave them Alts where they had to post with humorous Canadian user names. Rasey ended up winning after some Movie trivia.

Best Moment: I'm not sure if I can pin point a specific time, but there are a lot of funny users here and I find my self often laughing aloud to the gifs and comments that get posted.

Worst Moment: Probably the whole end of celebration threads (among other things) and everyone going to Meodia, then eventually both boards were pretty dead. I'm not as big into the community as I'd like to be but it was shocking to find the CT on the 3rd or 4th page buried under "which game should I buy" threads.

I think overall right now is a pretty good time for the lobby. Guys like Krod, Dopa, and Alcatraz are doing a fine job of making community based threads and game nights. Hope it continues.

for me personally it was when I was in a discussion over the Blu-Ray and HD-DVD battle, I expressed my interest in the HD war ending soon for the sake of not having to deal with the expense of buying both systems. shortly after a certain user by the name of beast786 quoted my post and replied with a comment which read "I can't believe no one had adopted you yet.. hold on just minute"

it was very welcoming to get such a positive gesture from a well respected user, it really gave me the feeling that my presence here was appreciated, which at the time was a big deal for me. I credit that moment alone to why I never left the boards, when I first made my account I didn't think much of this place, but when I came to the PS3 boards I was blown away by how friendly the community was, and to get such a welcoming reaction to my posts really made me feel like I was a part of something special. I had no idea there was such random generosity on the internet.

I appreciate that moment the most because if not for that then I might not have experienced all the great moments to follow. Though I have never met any of the people who post here in person I still feel a lot of them to be my good friends.

best moment: the SGM race between beast and SSF (fallowed by the first world war community challenge)

great get together, good times

worst moment: the breaking up of the celeb threads by the mods, a small part of the community aspect died here.

I have so many old memories popping into my head. We talked about a few last night.

Surprising Obe with a new CT in his honor. That was so awesome.
The entire Outfit vs Rest of Lobby.
Old CT getting Locked for a few days.
Hob5on getting pwn'd all over the interwebs.
Little battles with 360 Lobby
FFXIII going Multi-plat and the lobby exploding with threads of anger.
SOAD spamming his way to 20,000+ posts in one year.
Anticipating the Lobby Newsletter from Obe, and being able to help him out on a couple of them.

Writing a stupid little short story for Beast through PM and still waiting to this day for a response on whether he liked it.

Being able to help some people behind the scenes with life, work, or whatever they needed to talk about.
I remember going on Vacation and coming back to see a "Gfunk Death Thread" assuming I'd been mauled by bears.
Being the Official Speech Writer for the "Beast for SGM" campaign.

Just some stuff I've been doing recently. I'm in rare form. You all may not appreciate it, but it's awesome.

My Haiku thread.
http://boards.ign.com/ps3_lobby/b8269/200863564/p1/

One of my better moments.

My "Love You!!!" Persona

Some old stuff:
Arguing with Jeriku about the Jesus.
Losing every SGM
some of those speeches I wrote when we started the Meodia migration for SGM. One about masturbating to gay porn. The other where I had sex with a monkey in the trees. The Blouse
Pissing off ProjectOverkill and forgetting about it and having him talk trash to me for 3 years completely unaware I had pissed him off.
My classic console comparison threads. "PS3 vs. Atari 2600" etc...

"Hello my fellow PS3 users. I'd just like a moment of your time to share a story with you. It's a story that comes from my heart. I think it will open your eyes to the kind of person I am and help you realize why you should vote for me as your next SGM.

Growing up on a small farm in rural Kentucky I never had much as a child. I had my slingshot, my fishing rod, and a content heart. Dad and my brother Jimbo would plow the field all day, while my mama worked for old Mr. Benson down at the whore factory. It was a simple life. One that made me appreciate the little things life has to offer. Be it daisies growing on a fine Spring morning, sunlight creeping in through the oak trees, or the perfect symmetry of a horses testicles. The natural beauty of the world was my art museum and the gentle song of bluebirds were my concert hall.

One morning I got up, put on my best potato sack, and ran outside so I could go down to the old well. I was in a hurry because the day before I threw the neighbor dog down there and wanted to see if it died yet. But I never made it to the well and the dead dog. I don't know what it was that made me stop by the old cherry tree that morning, but I like to think it was Jesus guiding me to my destiny.

As I walked up to the tree I noticed this odd pile of rocks, and what appeared to be the corner of a sheet of paper barely visible under the heap. I kicked aside the rocks to see what it was. To my surprise it was a 46 page magazine of hardcore male on male pornography. My eyes had never seen such a thing before. I just went into a trance and without even thinking about it, I started masturbating. Quite thoroughly. Those men embracing and kissing and licking and sucking on each other. It was beautiful. I spent the rest of that day playing with myself. Over and over again.

I still smile thinking about the day I started masturbating to gay porn. I can honestly say I've never stopped. At least once a day I will work myself to some sort of gay image. That's the kind of man I am though. I am committed. If I decide to do something, I follow through. Be it masturbating to gay pornography or being your SGM. I won't do a poor job. I'll be there, everyday, making sure the job is done right. So please, vote for me. I won't let you down."

Favorite Moment: Was actually on Meodia when I did my Canadian PSN contest it was a lot of fun actually doing it after planning it out for awhile.

Epic contest

I don't have time to come up with my fav moments right now.. but I'll be back *dun dun dun*

I scanned a few pages of my post history and linked some of my favorite threads... I wish I could look further back because I know these aren't my true favorites. I might look for more.. reminiscing is fun

IGN users reviews
I asked the lobby of all 3 consoles to rate the hottest games and averaged the scores. Crunching those numbers took DAYS but it was worth it. Sadly, I couldn't find the PS3 lobby link which had great support.. the thread was ignored in the Wii lobby... even though they were many to rate the games.. Still, this was one of my better threads imo.

Platinum Ratings - Similar to User Ratings, only users rate the platinums they unlocked. Wish it had been more successful but it was fun anyhow.

WORLD WAR III
The very best Community Challenge ever. Hosted by beast and which inspired me to host World War IV (Couldn't find the original thread... and sadly, Beeno's epic Map/Scoreboard/Banner isn't there anymore....)

Favorite Moment: I just love the camaraderie that was around when we had the Folding @ Home threads. Those are my favorites.
Best Moment: When I got the Lobby Trifecta Award for telling off some dude.
Worst Moment: That one guy who used to post all of this threads in ALL CAPS. Don't remember who it was or anything, unfortunately (was it PlayTheStation?). He was the biggest troll imaginable. I wish I could find one of those threads.

I don't know if this is my best but I'd like to point to the old CT where we used to have battles going on in there and c4 going off in the corners. You really had to watch yourself when came into the CT.

Best moment: Would probably include ciao as well. Myself, Modest, and a couple others were playing with him in U2, and he was getting mad at Modest so he muted him. Then I started talking a british accent sayin, "Can you hear me ciao?" and he was freaking out. He was then convinced that we had hacked his mic because we made him believe "Modest" had the power to mute him. Good times.

Worst moment: When you guys were leaving to meodia. At least I became acquainted with Shock because of that, otherwise that was such a silly thing to do.

Favorite Moment: The CT. I always enjoy the conversations in there and it doesn't seem like anyone ever gets over a pissing contest, you can have educated arguments without people going crazy. Always have some good convos in there!

Best Moment: When NatePerkins finally disappeared from this lobby. I could post a unbiased opinion without getting banned constantly, so I could finally join the lobby and not lurk.

Worst Moment: When Flow joined the lobby. I think he gave me a STD while I was sleeping too...

When you posted this in the CT the other I bursted in laughter.
I got here right when NatePerkins was on his way out, I think... I kept seeing people mentioning him and posting a bunch of hilarious pics but I don't think I ever saw him post. Glad he's gone though

Both Rasey/Red helped a lot. Wow, I cant believe i had that much time

So true. I clearly remember red7 making a few newsletters and contests.. As well as being involved in many Community Challenges since he joined, writing awesome rally speeches.. running my SGM campaign for me But while looking back I saw a bunch of Community Challenges he hosted, I forgot about those. The CoD4 2vs2 was ambitious.

It's probably best I don't say what I thought of him during his first couple of days here (lol) but he didn't waste time showing he wanted to be part of this community.

You know, that's all it takes to be appreciated here... you just need to want to be here and you're a made man.

Last Man Standing was awesome. froggy outsmarted all of us. Good times.

That was fantastic

So many good Uncharted 2 moments with all the guys (and gals - Karen ), Uncharted 3 multiplayer will be epic.

I have not been around here long enough to work up some good memories.

But the people here have been helpfull and nice the entire time I have been here. I just wish I was able to play online with some of you . Or at very least keep up with the posting in the CT. Maybe in the future...

One memory I have was of my first post here. I posted it and came back the next day to check if anybody had replyed. I honestly was on the ground laughing after some of the replys. Did not expect that kind of "welcome".
